COVID-19 has accelerated the need for strategy re-calibration and technology adoption. With 76% of CEOs confident in global economic growth during 2022 (PwC), and the organic development of innovation capabilities lengthy and expensive, the landscape for Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) is ripe.

But how can technology leaders successfully integrate different application landscapes while getting the most value out of each? Successful integration demands advanced analysis, not surface-level cost and functional rationalization.

It’s vital to understand how each application landscape is mapped not only to functionality, but also to critical business capabilities and key strategic initiatives. Insight into at-risk processes and how applications impact or rely upon the existing data landscape(s) is also crucial.

In this practical webinar, we will take you through an M&A use case using ValueBlue’s innovative Application Portfolio Management solution. Discover the enriched insights the platform delivers through each phase of APM maturity – from mapping applications based on characteristics like cost or risk through to capability segmentation and functional overlap.

The webinar will cover:

• The impact IT leaders and executives can expect from M&A deals
• The gaps left exposed by surface-level application portfolio rationalization exercises
• ValueBlue’s 5-phase maturity model for progressive Application Portfolio Management
• A practical demonstration of Application Portfolio Management and integrating landscapes during M&A execution using the BlueDolphin platform

If your organization is heading into the fray of corporate, private equity or SPAC activity and an application landscape integration is on your horizon, you won’t want to miss this webinar.
